I'd keep the monarchy - I don't get all these current demands for different kinds of radical change to the constitution in the country - it is simpler keeping things as they are. I quite like the royals anyway.

Another thing that is overlooked, and even sneered upon, by anti-monarchists is that a lot of people do like reading celebrity stuff, and the royals are the ultimate celebrities. And if we didn't have the royal family, we get some sort of famous-for-being-famous celebrity replacement, like how America has the Kardashians.

When President Obama visited a year or two back, the only part of the visit that got major coverage in the mainstream US media was meeting the royals and Prince George.

Inherited wealth and status isn't going away either, as the public support it - to a certain extent.
